4941  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Feedback from a bitcoin user interview - letter “l” mistaken as numeral 1 on: June 29, 2022, 09:25:36 AM
Answering your question, I think that HODLers, paper or hardware wallet users and more type down addresses character by character.
I am a hodler and hardware wallet user and in all my years in Bitcoin, I don't have a single backup of my addresses. There is no reason for you to have them. You aren't sending Bitcoin using your local post service where you have to write down the address on a piece of paper or receipt. It's done digitally and over the Internet. If I give you the link to this thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5404332.0) and ask you to save it, you are not going to take a piece of paper and write it down by hand, are you? You will bookmark it, copy and paste it into notepad, or something similar. Your seed is the most important element of your wallet. That's the only thing that should be written down on paper safely and carefully. The seed takes care of the rest. It derives your private and public keys, and your addresses. 

Also, there is risk that inexperienced user would misread l as 1 when checking if the two addresses match in your example.
Another reason why you shouldn't write it down by hand, isn't it?

Lastly, I can't find a reason why an address shouldn't be written down. Can I ask you to elaborate on your suggestion, please?
You shouldn't search for answers why it shouldn't be done, but ask yourself why you should do it? Let's say I have used 100 addresses in the last year. What possible benefit would I have to keep all these addresses written down on paper? The address itself can't spend coins without its seed and private key. Like I mentioned previously, having multiple copies of your seed on paper is the only thing you need to do.

One more question for you:
If you need to send me Bitcoin, how would you prefer that I give you my BTC address? Should I write it down by hand on a piece of paper and send you a photo of me holding the paper in my hand, or do I copy/paste it and send it you via PM, email/Telegram or any other digital way?

...I have my own and different opinion Smiley
Your opinion seems to be greatly affected by the signature you are wearing because that opinion wasn't voiced before the campaign started. But that's your right and you are entitled to your own opinion. Just don't let the signature cloud your judgement and logic. To me personally, and many other members, it's unacceptable to justify someone's decision to censor Bitcoin and say your input is welcome, but yours isn't because we don't like you or your history. But if you are pro censorship and centralized decision-makers, that's your call. The idea of Bitcoin is somewhat different.

But, if those are the coins you want to hold, then just get a Ledger Nano of some description since it will support the majority of those coins. They are all as secure as each other. If you need Bluetooth for on the go transacting when paired to your phone, get the X. If you don't need that, get the S or S Plus. The only real difference between the S and S Plus is the screen size and how many apps you can have installed at once, but it takes literally 20 seconds to uninstall one coin's app and install a different coin's app (with no effect whatsoever on your coins themself), so up to you whether that small convenience is worth the extra price.
There are other less significant differences like the connector type. The Nano S Plus is equipped with a USB Type-C, while the old Nano S uses USB Type Micro-B. Another more important element could be the chip depending on if there is a vulnerability with the older models or one will be discovered in the future.

Nano S uses ST31H320 as secure element and STM32F042.
Nano S Plus uses the ST33K1M5.

Was all set on going for a ledger then a few negative comments takes me back to square one again.
No matter what you go for, there will always be negative comments and bad feedback about it. Not just for your choice of hardware wallets. Weigh up your options and consider how those comments affect you personally.

For example:
Has Ledger caused privacy leaks for its users? YES.
Has Trezor caused privacy leeks for its users? YES
Have Ledger or Trezor users lost their crypto because of bad design of their wallets? NO
Can the wallets be hacked remotely? NO (for now).
Can seeds, PINs, or private keys be extracted by having physical access to the device? Possibly, YES. If the person knows that they are doing.
Can you and me do it by watching a YouTube video? NO.
Which one is more vulnerable to physical manipulation between the two? Trezor because they don't have a secure element. Some would say Ledger is equally vulnerable due to its close-source nature and I would agree there is a danger in not knowing what is going on.

If you want to see which hardware wallets members of Bitcointalk own, you can take a look at Show off your hardware wallet. Ledger dominates the table followed by Trezor.
4944  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Coinplate Steel Seed Phrase Saver on: June 29, 2022, 07:10:45 AM
I am not familiar with that particular brand and never heard of it. Seems like a very expensive solution, at least in your case with the shipping. I checked to see if Jameson Lopp stress-tested this seed storage unit, but it's not on his list. If I wanted to use such a metal plate, I would check his review first to see how it survives the heat and corrosion tests. The manufacturer's promises and guarantees posted on the website are of secondary importance (or no importance at all).

Also, I don't like the space that was left for the 25th word, aka the passphrase. There isn't enough room. If your passphrase is the length of 6-8 random English words, for example, there is no way you will be able to engrave all that.

Which should be very easy for BlackJack.fun to fix. But after withdrawing $50.00 - $100.00 at a time, and I just remembered I also had a withdrawal of about $25.00...
I would like precise information to add in my thread. I see that the casino's forum admin hasn't been on the forum for a week. Hopefully, once they are back, they will clarify the entire confusion and post the correct numbers here.

Perhaps you can help me?
Not interested in advertising an altcoin or dubious NFTs. I sympathize with Ukraine's effort to regain control of their country, but this isn't going to help them. Be careful how you advertise that thing. If you haven't noticed, you are already ruining your account by doing it outside of the altcoin boards.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not interested.
4947  Economy / Gambling / Re: [Table] Withdrawal Fees and Withdrawal Amounts on Crypto Casinos on: June 29, 2022, 06:45:29 AM
Do you know how many casinos and gambling websites have something like this TIP function, and can we send any amount of coins we want, or it's only fixed numbers in Duelbits?
I am not familiar with the rules for tipping and have never personally used it either on Duelbits or any other casino, so I can't help you with that. But I have come across a few sites that allow players to tip others. Sometimes the feature is available in the wallet section when making deposits/withdrawals, other times I have seen it connected to the chat like in the case of Duelbits.

This could be interesting addition for this Withdrawal Table but I think it would take a lot of time to investigate and test so many websites.
I don't think it's a widely used feature for information about it to be included in the table. Besides that, any new column would mess up the formatting and make the table aesthetically unappealing and too big.
4948  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: I am panicking on: June 28, 2022, 09:27:43 AM
The video of the Trezor seed extraction doesn't really have anything to do with the questions you asked.
That hack was only possible because the owner of the Trezor still had an old firmware installed on his device. That old firmware had a vulnerability where the PIN and seed were loaded into the RAM. What Joe did was find a way to access this information to get to the seed. Since that loading of sensitive information into RAM does no longer happen with the newer firmware versions, the same type of attack would no longer work. But the chip could potentially be vulnerable to other manipulations. Kraken and Ledger hacked the Trezor as well.  

It took a hardware hacker 3 months to extract the seed. It's safe to say, that it isn't something that too many people could do. I would still not be interested in giving away or selling my used hardware wallet.

So if I own a shop and you come to my store to buy something, you wouldn't mind if I put all your bills under the microscope and also check to see if there are any traces of drugs, semen, explosives, and other illegal substances? If I find something I don't like, you will be reported to the police, then you can explain to them why you were trying to pay with a $50 bill that had DNA of a rapist who got imprisoned last week. I am exaggerating on purpose so you can understand how ridiculous this situation is.

After all that, would you say shopping at my store makes you feel safe, and would you recommend my business to friends and family?   
4950  Bitcoin / Wallet software / Re: Feedback from a bitcoin user interview - letter “l” mistaken as numeral 1 on: June 28, 2022, 08:55:35 AM
Bitcoin addresses have checksums. It's there so that you can't send Bitcoin to a non-existing address like in the case you mentioned. If you take any valid address and replace one of its characters for a different one, the address becomes invalid and most (good) wallets won't allow you to make a transaction to it. 

Another thing. Who types down an address character by character nowadays anyways? You copy/paste the whole thing or scan the QR code then you check if the two addresses match before finalizing a transaction.

To answer your question, I have never had that happen to me because I don't write down addresses character by character, and you shouldn't either.
4951  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Which hardware wallet to buy? on: June 28, 2022, 08:47:03 AM
I think that this is a bad choice of words. Nano S is the smallest, the oldest they're still selling, but, afaik, not their first.
My bad. I could have expressed myself better. I was trying to say that the Nano S is the oldest Ledger model that is still available on the market. It's certainly not the first one they ever produced, but it did sound like I said exactly that. I think the Ledger HW 1 and Ledger Nano were their oldest models. There was also the Ledger Blue. All these products have been discontinued in the meantime.

You said that the coins can double or more on next bull run... I would say that the bitcoin may double or more, while some of the altcoins will probably turn to dust.
So (as a second thought) I would do different. I would get the Bitcoins to the hardware wallet (or, even easier, I would generate a paper wallet offline) and I would keep the altcoins on exchange(s).
I guess it depends on the altcoin. Some of them probably will, either after this bear market or the next one. But generally, Bitcoin tends to pull their price upwards when it begins its run. Even if they are altcoins, I would wait for better times to sell them. The overall state of the market right now isn't the best one.
4952  Bitcoin / Hardware wallets / Re: Which hardware wallet to buy? on: June 28, 2022, 07:02:58 AM
Keep in mind its tiny memory means it only supports a handful of coins (at most) at a time. If you dabble with more than 2-3 currencies, your workflow will include deleting and installing individual 'apps' for each cryptocurrency every time you have to interact with that currency (like a deposit or withdrawal).
You are thinking of Ledger's first model, the Nano S. OP wants to purchase a Nano S Plus, the device that came out just a few months ago. It has received a memory upgrade that allows it to hold up to 100 different apps at the same time. In theory at least. Even if it's just half of it, that will still be enough for OPs current needs.

Your budget for the device also shows me that you're probably dealing with capital that should be fine (not financial advice) to keep on an exchange - as I said, also for more efficient / fast trading ability.
OP owns Ł3.000 worth of crypto. Personally, this wouldn't be an amount I would be comfortable storing in an exchange account. Not to mention that these Ł3.000 can easily become Ł5k or Ł6k during the next bull run. But people have different needs. OP doesn't strike me as a day trader for him to require access to an asset within a minute or two.

Can you help me locate it if you srill remember?
Duelbits has a tipping feature on the site. It's available through the chat window. You have to click on the name of the user you want to tip. You will then see a new popup on your screen with some stats about that player and underneath the username is a Tip User button. Click on it, enter how much you want to send, and finalize your transaction.

Možda je to u početku izgledalo kao dobar način kako navijače približiti radu kluba ali svima je jasno da bitne odluke nitko neće prepustiti navijačima.
Vlasnici tokena ne odlučuje ni o čemu što se tiče sportskog i finansijskog askekta u klubu. Znam za dvije stvari na koje su navijači Juventusa mogli da utiču npr. Imali su mogućnost da naprave dizajn koji će se pojaviti na klubskom autobusu. Zatim je bilo glasanje i prijedlog sa najviše glasova je sad na autobusu. Naravno tu dođu još neke nagrade kao što su dresovi, ulaznice za utakmice, itd. Druga stvar za koju se je moglo glasati je način proslave gola u nekoj od utakmica. Sad kad Pogba dođe, ne bi me čudilo da će smislit nešto da mu se izšara po kosi jer mijenja frizuru svakog tjedna.

I highly appreciate your work. I paid almost no attention to the altcoins column this time so I am not surprised there were changes. I wanted to get the correct numbers for withdrawals and fees.

Excellent work!

I have withdrawn amounts $50.00 to $100.00 from the site, and it has always indicated a different fee value in Bitcoin everytime. I believe the withdrawal fees depend on network congestion, and the size of the withdrawal.
The fees shouldn't depend on the size of the withdrawal but solely on the current network congestion and if the casino has to break up multiple UTXOs to send you your coins. But what is the minimum amount that the casino allows to be withdrawn in BTC? Neither you nor Eternad mentioned that. Don't they post the information somewhere on the withdrawal page/tab like almost all other casinos?

Luckily in those deleted threads, no one posted or replied as usually it is unfair for those posters who post good in those threads but later found out that the whole thread is gone along with their posts.
I am not sure what kind of posts and quality content you can generate in threads that discuss ways to become a god or reptilian, or his nonsense tips about immortality and the other types of unnecessary noise he was creating. Anyone discussing such things and relying on those posts to remain on a Bitcoin forum shouldn't be surprised if they notice plenty of post deletions.

If the assets owned by the OP are all in bitcoin, then I believe electrum is also a good choice in addition to its need to have a hardware wallet.
It's not all in Bitcoin. He posted a list previously. He owns Bitcoin and 9 other altcoins.


Since you are considering buying the new Ledger HW, I feel I should mention a few things.

Ledger together with Trezor are two of the most popular hardware wallet brands and they have sold millions of devices. I have been using a Ledger Nano S for years and have no problem with it. Ledger is closed-source though. They have suffered a hacking incident where private data from their customers were leaked and posted publicly. I am talking about names, addresses, phone numbers, etc. Private keys and seeds are not vulnerable. A lot of people lost their trust in Ledger because of this and the way they handled the entire situation. Take note though that Trezor also suffered a similar customer data leak, but on a smaller scale.

Now a little bit about their hardware wallets.

Nano S
A good and reliable little device that gets the job done. No batteries or Bluetooth and only supports USB connection.
It's biggest problem is the small internal memory. Right now, you can only have two crypto apps installed at the same time. This does not mean that you can't store the same coins and tokens as on the Nano X and Nano S+ because you can. But you will be required to uninstall and install the apps each time you want to interact with that particular coin. This is a process that takes 20-30 seconds.

Nano X
Works wirelessly via Bluetooth but can also be connected with a USB cable. Personally, the Bluetooth feature is a big turn off for me. This device has a bigger screen and more memory. It can hold up to 100 coins at the same time, so the installing/uninstalling you would have to do with the Nano S, isn't needed on Nano X.

Unfortunately, the new generations of the Nano X have several problems. Most notably are the issues with the batteries. It goes as far as getting a product you can't even charge or use at all.

Nano S Plus
Nano S Plus is a Nano S on steroids. Bigger screen, more memory in a similar package. The biggest problem with this one is that they were too hasty to release it. Because of that, it lacks (lacked) support for several assets. The same ones that work on the older devices. I am not sure at what stage they are in resolving those issues.
 
My favorite is still the Nano S. If it hadn't been for the security incident with customer data, I would still recommend buying it. But it's not only that. The Nano S is getting discontinued. It's no longer manufactured and they might drop support for it entirely in a few years. We don't know that. I would never buy the Nano X and I am uncertain about the Nano S Plus. The older generations of the Nano X were OK (battery-wise).

Moram da dodam da mi je smesno gledati kako ljudi koji prave reklamu za kockanje ovdje govore kako je levarage trading opasan...

Just stating the irony, gents...  Lips sealed
Opasan je jer je dobar mamac za one koji ne znaju u šta se upuštaju i nemaju iskustva sa tim načinom trgovanja. Naravno greška je njihova što nisu prostudirali kako to da sa $10 mogu trgovati kao da imam $1000!?

Ti kad staviš pare na neku nogometnu utakmicu da će neko pobjediti, to je 90 minuta igre gdje možda dobiješ a možda izgubiš. Znat će se na kraju. Neka ovo bude simbolično za obično trgovanje. A zamisli sad situaciju da si se kladio na konačnog pobjednika, a tvoja ekipa skrivi penal u 8. minuti i kladionica ti već uzme pare i tretira tvoj listić kao gubitni. Neka ovo bude leverage trading. Wink

Za one koji ne znaju kako je lako izgubiti novac leverage-om, naravno da je opasno. Ko to razumije i spreman je na taj rizik, onda nije.
